First Drive: Rezvani Beast

Coachbuilding is a lost art... but maybe it's ready to make a comeback. Ferris Rezvani could be leading the charge, and he'll be doing so behind the wheel so his Beast. Under its carbon fiber skin sits the Ariel Atom. That means a supercharged Honda K24 engine making 300 horsepower. It's connected to a six-speed manual gearbox. It's also connected to the rear wheels, which is where the power comes out without tractional control, power steering, or power brakes holding it back. This is a raw car, yet it's more refined than the vehicle on which it's based. There are actual body panels. An Alpine audio system utilizes Apple Car Play to connect to your phone. It's a real car... just one that happens to run from 0-60 in 3.5 seconds and the supercharger whines harder than a banshee that threw away a winning lottery ticket. This is just car number two from Rezvani... let's hope there's a whole lot more in store because we welcome the return of coachbuilding. ---------------------------------- http://www.Hooniverse.com Follow us on Twitter: @TheHooniverse -   / thehooniverse   @JGlucker -   / jglucker   Follow on Instagram: @HooniverseJeff -   / hooniversejeff   Like us on Facebook:   / hooniverse   And please subscribe to this channel, thanks!
